Somewhat of a Current Event


Two great white sharks were tagged off the coast of Cape Cod on September 7. CNN reported that this was the first time that a great white shark was successfully tagged in the Atlantic Ocean off the U.S. coast. The beaches in Chatham were closed to the public after the shark sightings. CNN also reported that three of them were seen as close as 75 yards off the coastline of the beach. This article was extremely interesting to me because I thought that it was very rare for great whites to be seen so far north of the Atlantic Ocean. I guess not.

  1. Hi Tom,

    I am just happy I was not on vacation at the CAPE - otherwise, I might have met one too up close and too personal!!!!
